Training

I run training courses around the country and they can be held on a regional basis, for clusters of schools or an individual school. I can also run tailor made courses so please just contact me to discuss your requirements but two that I run regularly are:

“Help, I’m in charge of the school library!”

This full day course is aimed at anyone new to running a primary school library. The course objectives are:

To consider the role of the library in the school

To learn about the processes and practical aspects of running a library

To provide an opportunity to look at a range of resources

Comment after attending this course in June 2015:
